60th Anniversary Reunion
About the Cursillo 60th Anniversary Reunion
- What is a Reunion? A reunion is a gathering of people who have previously undertaken a Cursillo. Cursillistas from other dioceses are welcome to join the celebration for the CG 60th Anniversary.
- What happens there? Talks and discussions, some about history and other talks to help Cursillistas advancing beyond our initial Cursillo. There will also be fun activities and games, as well as food and drinks to enjoy.
- What is the format? The Reunion is for both male and female Cursillistas and will be in a live-out format, meaning you will come during the day and stay at your home or in nearby accommodation overnight. You can come for both days or one. There is an optional dinner on the Sat evening.
